Fair Grounds

The weather calls for 52 degrees and partly sunny.

Race #6 – O.C. Claiming $16,000 – 1 1/16 on the turf – 4:23 p.m. ET

#8 – Clemente Rock (8-1) = Shawn Bridgmohan in the saddle for Mike Maker, and he sports the “Moving up in Class, and Off 45 Days icons.” This son of Strong Hope owns a 17.8 Turf Class Rating, and 58 Last Race Rating with a 60 Composite Rating. He has the ability to come from off the pace, and should give an honest effort in this heat.

Race #8 – Alw $64,000 – 1 mile on turf – 5:23 p.m. ET

#3 – Saturday N The Park (6-1)= Robby Alabarado in the irons for William Heffner. This daughter of Any Given Saturday owns the ” Should Improve and Moving up in Class icons.” She sports a 25.4 TCR, and a 62+ LRR. She makes the dirt to turf move, and the barn wins 22% on this change. The move back to the greensward should help as she is 1/1 on the sod.

Gulfstream Park

The weather calls for 63 degrees and a 40% chance of showers.

Race #6 – O.C. $75,000 – 1 mile – 3:05 p.m. ET

#7 – Prudhoe Bay (5-1) = Paco Lopez (30%) gets the nod from Eddie Plesa, and they are winning at a 39% clip at GP. This son of Songandaprayer has the “Moving up in Class” icon and was an impressive winner in his maiden debut. He sports a pair of 55’s for his LRR and CR, and stretches out from 5 1/2f to a mile where the barn wins 15% going from a sprint to a route.

Race #9 – O.C. $75,000 – 6f – 4:43 p.m. ET

#11 – Benny’s Bombshell (6-1) = Jesus Castanon picks up the mount for Jason Cook, and this two-year-old daughter of Benny the Bull was impressive in her maiden by over 18 lengths over a muddy track at Mountaineer. She gets an extra half furlong today, and owns the “Moving up in Class” icon and a 57 LRR. She wired the field in strong fashion her only time out, and with rain in the forecast there is a good chance she may see a soft track to run. Castanon can break them from the gate, and if the last race is any indication we may be looking at two-in-a-row.
